You would think it would be impossible, but it was a issue with the first wave troops. 5.56 ball was ver y hard to come by (tracer on the other hand). Being a armoured cav unit (M1A2/M3) we was last in line since it was assumed we would never do dismounted ops: hence we was only given the basic draw: 210 rounds per M4. But at least we had 7.62 coming out of our ears. On my track I had some 20k rounds, being a tank has its advantages I guess. The brad guys had even more.
